Acts 1:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Ye men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, Which the (A)holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before of Judas, which was (B)guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained fellowship in this ministration.
18 He therefore hath [b]purchased a field with the reward of iniquity: and when (C)he had [c]thrown down himself headlong, he brast asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

- Acts 1:18 The Greek words signify thus much, that Judas fell down flat and was rent in sunder in the middle, with a marvelous huge noise.
